Ruby Language Numbers Rational Numbers
Example
Rational represents a rational number as numerator and denominator:
r1 = Rational(2, 3)
r2 = 2.5.to_r
r3 = r1 + r2
r3.numerator # => 19
r3.denominator # => 6
Rational(2, 4) # => (1/2)
Other ways of creating a Rational
Rational('2/3') # => (2/3)
Rational(3) # => (3/1)
Rational(3, -5) # => (-3/5)
Rational(0.2) # => (3602879701896397/18014398509481984)
Rational('0.2') # => (1/5)
0.2.to_r # => (3602879701896397/18014398509481984)
0.2.rationalize # => (1/5)
'1/4'.to_r # => (1/4)
